U.S. President Harry S Truman
President Truman gave the order to drop an atomic bomb on Japan during World War II. He was the first and only U.S. President to order the use of an atomic bomb as a military weapon.
No, South Africa long ago gave up its nuclear weapons program.
Russia developed its own nuclear program, and was aided by espionage.
Yes. It was done by the Raiders too. Doolittle put his medal the Japanese gave him a bomb he would drop on Tokyo. Many bombs around the world had medals and messages put on them.
Truman did inform the Japanese about the atomic bomb attacks by instructing the military to drop leaflets throughout the country. It is disputed that Hiroshima, one of the cities that suffered the worst from these attacks, were never informed of this.

I don't think there was a debate about whether to use the atomic bomb on Japan. Once the bomb became available the U.S. gave the Japanese an opportunity to surrender or suffer awful destruction. They declined and, with many U.S. solders' lives in the balance, President Harry Truman gave the order to use the bomb. Since then, there have been many morning after debates about whether we should have done it.

Both atomic bombs dropped on Japan were successful. What gave you the idea they weren't?
